About Florida Legal Guide
An attorney search platform and legal information resource for Floridans. Not a law firm. Free for users. No referral fees from attorneys.
What we are
Florida Legal Guide is an attorney search platform and legal information resource, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. Attorney information is sourced from public The Florida Bar records. Discipline status reflects publicly available data; absence of public discipline does not guarantee an attorney's fitness for any particular matter.
Hemant Adhikari
Founder and Editor · Florida Legal Guide
Background. Hemant is a software builder and product operator. He started the Galaxsen network of state-vertical information sites with Florida Attorney Search Network earlier in 2026 and is expanding the network state by state. Florida Legal Guide is the second flagship in that rollout.
Why this site exists. Existing American legal directories are largely lead-generation businesses, which biases what they show, how they rank attorneys, and what they hide. Florida Legal Guide publishes what The Florida Bar already makes public — every active Florida-licensed attorney's status, discipline history, location, practice areas, and Board Certified board certifications — and displays it transparently, free of referral-fee incentives.
Editorial commitment. Attorney listings are refreshed quarterly against The Florida Bar roster, with monthly disciplinary-action monitoring and a real-time license check at the moment of intake match. Discipline status is shown on every profile, neutrally and without editorial characterization — clients deserve full information when choosing an attorney.

Methodology
Attorney listings are compiled from public The Florida Bar records. We display:
- Bar status (active, inactive, suspended)
- Discipline status (no public record / prior public discipline) — transparently, on every profile
- Practice areas the attorney lists with the bar
- Board certifications (Board Certified specialties), where the attorney holds them
- Location (city, county) where the attorney maintains an office
- "Practicing remotely" tag for attorneys licensed in Florida but with an out-of-state office
Sources
- The Florida Bar — attorney roster, bar status, disciplinary actions
- Florida Board of Legal Specialization (Board Certified) — board certification data
- Florida Statutes (Penal Code, Civil Practice & Remedies Code, Family Code, etc.) — cited inline in guides
Update cadence
Updated periodically from The Florida Bar records. Disciplinary actions monitored. License verified at the moment we match you to an attorney.
Discipline transparency policy
We publish disciplinary status sourced from public The Florida Bar records on every attorney profile. We display this transparently because clients deserve full information. Disciplinary history alone does not mean an attorney is unqualified — many attorneys with past discipline are competent practitioners — but it is information clients have a right to know when making a hiring decision.
No legal advice
This site publishes general legal information about Florida law. We do not provide legal advice for any specific situation. If you need legal advice, consult a Florida-licensed attorney.
